PRob is done and Greer is getting up there in age. CB should be our priority on defense. Don't forget that we're getting back Butler next season. At worst, I think he'll be an adequate 1 year stop gap that would allow us put off drafting an OLB/DE for another year. I'd put the order in terms of biggest need as:
CB
S
ILB
OLB

Looks like a deep draft for CB as well. I'd put OL as the top need, though. You can usually get a top 3 C in the draft in the late 2nd/early 3rd, so that's where I'd focus on getting one, hopefully re-signing DLP to be a very good backup to LG/C/RG.


All this. Although I think they'll give PRob every opportunity to return.

Like others, aside from the Oline problems, heres what i see:

S - Jenkins/Harper combo can be upgraded, we saw what a dif KV can make. can you imagine another one?

OLB - Depth. Tez hasnt shown much. Neither has Paris Hilton. I think we can get better here

CB- Depth. PRob hurt.

we aren't going to be grabbing a big difference maker picking #32.

So we're picking up someone for depth and potential starter, gotta be a DB.

Greer is consistent, but age is catching up to him and we can't depend on him forever.

OLB is young and looking good.
D-line is young and deep
ILB has experience and still relatively young/cheap
Safety - "2-deep" and I'm sure we can resign jenkins/harper to a cheap contract if needed.
